Does anyone here have any docs about how FreeBSD ( 4.0-RELEASE i'm running
) does its cpu time slicing.

Is there any method to record the utime/stime of a process more accurately
than one tick(defined in kernel as 1/128 second)? Do I have to write some

I started working on a port of FreeMWare/plex86 (www.plex86.org) to FreeBSD
yesterday, and have run into a small problem. The basic idea is that I need
to write a kernel module that implements some ioctls for a new psuedo-device
that will eventually reside at /dev/plex86.

Well, I tend to agree with your comments on the benchmark, but have
observed that when starting a large number of forks from the same parent
on 4.0-STABLE, the system sporadically hangs waiting in vm_wait for some
processes to exit, despite not having hit max kernel processes permitted,

Hi there,
This was brought to my attention by a co-worker, and is a legitimate
complaint about our device handling for {/dev/null, /dev/random,
/dev/urandom, /dev/zero, ...}. Apparently it is not possible to set the
device to support non-blocking file I/O, which seems silly as the
semantics of
